The other parts

So, I went to my usual pho place last week, and ordered my usual variety - the house special. Wound up getting asked repeatedly in fairly broken English accompanied by various pointings at different parts of the menu if I really wanted to eat tendon and tripe. Seemed kinda strange since I've ordered that same dish repeatedly there over the past few years.

I was reminded of the above when I came across an article on Italians taking to eating the rest of the animal again (along with better use of leftovers). Saves money, seems to make more effective and thorough use of animals raised for food, and can be quite tasty too.
